Poppies

 It's time for a new challenge at Beautiful Blossoms and we have a pretty
board for inspiration, but you can create anything as long as it's a floral!


I kept my card very clean adding nothing more then the stamped image itself,
I like it though, it appeals to me 'clean!
The image is a VERY old JustRite stamp set 'Poppies'. 
I never 'purge' my stuff unless I know I will never use it again
so I was happy to ink this one up again.  I just wished I had moved the
poppies sentiment down a bit lower, but once stamped it was too late!!
After stamping and coloring I die cut it with a Cottage Cutz 
Nested Stitched Rectangle.


I grow poppies in in my own gardens, here are a few pictures of them:




So, get out your flowers and come on over to Beautiful Blossoms
and join in our floral fun!!

Entering the following challenges:
We Love Stamping ..... Summer Blooms
Inkspirational # 374 .... Gardens
Elliebelle's Garden Party #18 .... Anything From A Garden
Time Out .... Cas~Floral are my Pick 2

Oh, if only I had enough garden-able areas of sunshine to grow poppies like yours! Your paper poppies are beautiful, too, and I'm impressed that you still have this JustRite stamp! But, why not? It's gorgeous, and you've made the prettiest card with it!

A glorious Poppy card Diane and perfect for our theme at We Love Stamping challenge, thanks so much for joining us.

My favourite flower and grow lots in the gardens as well, my favourite the pink Oriental's, sadly long since finished thanks to the unremitting heatwave here.

Gorgeous card! Yes, you've always had beautiful poppies in your gardens! I too enjoy when my poppies 'pop out' in the spring! Beautifully crafted!

A beautiful CAS design for those gorgeous poppies and I am loving the poppies from your garden. I tried a few times to grow them here in IL, for some reason they only last one short season then are done. And I specifically purchased a cold hardy variety. Maybe I'll try again next year.
Thanks so much for sharing again at my Garden Party!
